Jenni Baden HowardHoliday preparations are in full swing: Dior lit up Saks Fifth Avenue’s Manhattan flagship last night, launching its windows, in-store installation, and a digital pop-up, while the scent of NEST’s iconic Holiday Candle will waft down Fifth Avenue beginning Thursday.
Here at CEW, Andrea Nagel reports on the exciting news that Cosmoprof will hold its first B2B trade show in Miami, Florida, in January 2024. ”For the first time in its 20-year run in North America, Cosmoprof Miami looks to supplement the long-running summer show held in Las Vegas with opportunities in North, South, and Central America,” writes Nagel. The focus will be on Latin America, with Country Pavilions showcasing Argentinian, Brazilian, and Colombian beauty, says CPNA Vice President of Marketing, Liza Ripay. Cosmoprof Miami will feature a Retail Safari tour of local stores, led by WSL Strategic Retail.
Also at CEW today, Anna Mayo, Vice President of NielsenIQ’s Beauty Vertical, shares her insights on the new NIQ Report: The Intersection of Beauty + Wellness. “If adjacent categories are incorporated, the full market view of beauty and wellness is $140.7 billion, which expands the beauty category by 45%. These adjacent categories are ones that consumers are cross shopping most often and are closest to the trends we are seeing in beauty,” writes Mayo, who offers suggestions for how companies can capitalize on this opportunity, which has grown since the COVID-19 pandemic.
